Customer Reviews
Amazing, bring cash!! They will take card but cash is better. The owners are amazing and the regulars are too. Love this place
So GOOD! ?? Buttery, flakey, chewy, fresh, and so yummy. Nothing fancy but the highest quality basic no-nonsense donuts. I got old fashioned buttermilk maple, chocolate old fashioned, basic sugar donut melted in my mouth, and another - all were Amazing!
Finally tried this donut place and was pleasantly surprised. The donuts were fresh and tasty, we also had a breakfast bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon... it was really good. The establishment is clean and the staff was very friendly. Parking is available in a free lot on Washington Blvd just east of Lake Ave (southeast corner). They have a couple of little booths inside, if you want to enjoy your donut right there. Also offered are various coffees and Boba, and there's a fridge with canned and bottles drin
Friendly service and delicious fluffy traditional donuts at traditional prices .. if you enjoy fresh fluffy flavorful donuts, check this place out. The staff are friendly and helpful.
This place is nice! I am having the #2 breakfast bagel, very good, great price, super nice employees, very clean. Pasadena has all the nice restaurants.
Service was friendly with a smile and the donuts are amazing.My 13 year old sons expression on his face when we entered was priceless, as we left he said we have to come back here before we leave,(we are visiting from Minnesota) the donuts were light and airy, we got there at 11:am and the donuts tasted like they were made 10 minutes before we got there.We plan to visit again to try another one of there donuts they had so many to choose from wish we had more time to try them all. This place is amazing
Friendly service. Well packaged. Delicious raisin rolls!
AMAZING! Went to pasadena for work, stopped by here for donuts. Had no idea about this place. Donuts were incredible AND service was great. The lady behind the counter was a sweetheart. Sadly I don't live here but next time I'm in pasadena I will definitely stop by.
Came here twice on our recent stay in Pasadena. Not much on atmo, but donuts are top notch. Good coffee too! Lovely place.
I pickup donuts here before work sometimes. Everyone that works here is very efficient and friendly. Donuts are also very delicious. I?m not a fan of cake donuts, mostly because they just taste too heavy usually, but theirs taste fresher and light.
I love this Cambodian own bakery here in Pasadena will definitely recommend everything is fresh
Simply fantastic donuts--maybe the best I've ever had. Went twice during a short visit to Pasadena. Might go back again just for the donuts!
Food is amazing! Donuts are really soft and fresh and not too sweet, but still sweet enough. Better than Krispy Kreme for sure!! :D
Great place to get excellent donuts at a unbelievable price I might add. They are really one of the last of your neighborhood donuts shop, and I for one feel it's a dang shame I have to go all the way to Lake Ave in Pasadena, when less then 2 blocks away from my house is Eagle Rocks own donut shop. But you won't catch me there, unless I'm buying lotto tickets or cashing them in. Because I can get a half dozen fresh donuts at Gladstones, where-as here at my local your lucky if you can manage to get one donut
Well the service is great and the donuts are good ????
A friendly neighborhood donut shop. The workers are very lovely and make small talk with the customers there. They are very nice to children and offer a variety of beverages. Although they may have limited donuts and croissants, they are very well made, fresh daily.
It's DELICIOUS and inexpensive. My bf got the apple fritter and I got a bunch of donut holes, they were so good, melt in your mouth, and the woman at the register was extremely nice. The coffee is also great! Don't overpay for fancy hipster donuts. Just go get good ones here.
They are all so super friendly and welcoming. Their donuts and other goodies are super yummy. My go to is my coffee with extra cream and a donut ??. They always make my day ??
Donuts and food item's are great!
Andy the owner is a good guy. My daughter and I had breakfast and socialized this rainy morning at this spot. We love this place. Classic donuts and ham n cheese croissants.
I am a bit of a donut snob, and I have to say this place has the best glazed donuts in Los Angeles county. They are perfectly glazed and made with buttermilk, which just puts them over the edge. Once you have one, you'll never be able to enjoy a glazed donut that's not made with buttermilk again. They also make some with a crumb topping, and my husband loves those.
They sell last month's donuts. The worst customer service ever! I walked into the store and found the color of donuts is a little abnormal. I asked the lady if the donut is fresh. The lady yelled to me "They are from last month". I suddenly don't know what to say. I am the customer and I have the right to ask if I saw the color is abnormal. Then she continued to yell to me "Why did you ask that?!!" I'm totally speechless. Please be prepared!
The donuts are what you'd expect from an LA donut shop (solid; nothing fancy), but the staff is super friendly. They're always warm and friendly to my son and me whenever we come by.
Awesome donut place. Super friendly staff and delicious food. My biggest problem is remembering to bring enough cash.
Very nice owners, great donuts and very clean donut shop. ????
Super friendly servers/owners. Delicious fresh donuts. It's an old fashioned very casual donut shop locals go for coffee and donuts, if you're a tourist.
Best glazed twists I've ever had. The fluffiness and melt-in-your mouth texture is that of Krispy Kreme
I purchased half a dozen donuts and a ham and cheese croissant today. She asked me if the croissant I want to be warmed up. I said yes and before she put in the microwave I changed my mind about warming up. She changed the croissant under the table which makes me think if I take a warmed up croissant she can sell me the old one because I'm not going to be able to tell it's old. Very disappointed.
Love this donut house they always make my special request of crumb Cronuts for me everytime I ask for it and they are very loving and friendly.
The folks who run Gladstone are such a friendly and hardworking family! Great donuts and croissants. Try the Honey Wheat donut!
Fresh donuts, friendly service, love this place, don't forget, they have ice cold chocolate milk in the refrigerator.
